Quick brief
Use imapfilter when the job is unattended inbox triage through explicit IMAP rules, not ordinary email reading or a generic mail client. The agent behavior is concrete: connect to IMAP mailboxes, evaluate rule logic, then move, flag, delete, or organize matching messages. That scope boundary, repeatable rule-based mailbox hygiene, keeps it from being just another email product listing.
